Join host Burke Allen and his special guest Dr. Stephen Cook from Virginia Theological Seminary. The noted author and speaker will share his thoughts on the "thoughts and prayers" rhetoric that follows incidents of tragic gun violence in the wake of deadly shootings in El Paso and Dayton, what the Bible says about mental illness, and how a loving God could permit incidents like this to happen. The half-hour show is a compelling, thought provoking conversation-don't miss it. Click Here.
